The Urban Development Corporation’s (UDC) Goat Islands Wildlife Sanctuary project has received technical services from The Nature Conservancy (TNC) valued at approximately US$50,000.
The conservation organisation has supported the UDC’s work at Goat Islands and Old Harbour Bay through the sharing of research data and providing other critical services, including extensive drone mapping.
The TNC, via the climate adaptation initiative Resilient Islands, has continued its collaboration with the UDC to advance these significant projects of ecological benefit.
The corporation and its partners have been collecting baseline data on the flora and fauna of the Great Goat Island as a part of the management plan for the establishment of the wildlife sanctuary.
“Data is essential to what we do at the UDC as it guides our decision-making processes, and because this project will have a major development benefit for the country, this partnership with the TNC is significant.”
